VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

When they broke into the house of this crazy being, they didn't think they would be fighting something as weird as this thing.

They were practically fighting an endless swarm of monsters, a never ending misery that wasn't even leaving them alone!

-Boooooooom!

They ran but these creatures chased after them.

They exploded and some of the creatures that were created by the dolls of that dark thing even used a strange kind of magical power to deal various kinds of damage to them.

It was strange at first, but by the time they got used to fighting these strange things, they knew they were fighting what they could not kill with simple methods.

[{ "You were here for the seed of darkness. I understand why you would go to such lengths now." }]

Odin was a dark knight that had received a class quest when he got his class a while back and when he came here, he was searching for this very fragment- or the 'seed' that had turned a human into that dark creature which now controlled all these dangerous beings.

It was a high level individual that knew their art, but with the power of Darkness that they were using, a Pure power of nature that was more like Mana than the dark power that the Dark mages use.

By nature, both of these powers were very similar, however, if one thought about it, they were quite different from one another.

Unlike the dark power that was corrupt and was a sign of evil, the darkness that had now devoured this individual was the power that Dark knights and Necromancers used in order to interact with the Dark Souls that exist in a similar realm to the Guardian spirits and the elemental spirits.

These beings were powerful by nature, but unlike the evil beings that existed in a completely different realm, these souls were individuals that had embraced the darkness in its purest form.

They were followers of a certain part that indicated the eternal finality of everything, thus being the same as any other path strider of this world, or someone with a certain kind of Goal and ambitions.

-Ooooooooooooong!

Darkness was a powerful force, like Aura. However, not everyone possessing it could handle its nature.

[{ "I think you're right, Miss Alex. It seems like you know about this, so I'll be selfish and ask for your cooperation in this case. I need that seed and extracting it from that person will only be possible after we defeat him!

He has already lost his sanity, there's no way to save them anymore!" }]

When someone who was blessed by the dark side was chosen as an agent of darkness, they were given a choice.

They had to sacrifice something that they would obtain in the future in exchange for the power they received in that moment.

The kind of sacrifice they would have to make is up to them, however, the kind of power they receive from the Darkness is completely random.

[{ "Elio, we will be going in. Get ready with Sera." }]

[{ "Alright." }]

Those who receive a strong physical disposition along with special skills become Dark Knights, those who receive the power of dead become Necromancers, those who wants to follow the Darkness in its purest form become (Dark Worshippers) and those who are chosen by the Gods or the Truth that form the Darkness in its entirety, receive the power of [Shadows].

Something so rare that even Alex only knew two who possessed that special power.

[{ "The target has a weak defense but, even if we attack together, we will defeat them with only a long battle.

And we might have to deal with all the puppets before that." }]

Dealing with the puppets had been a difficult task until now so she knew the simple method wasn't going to work.

Not only Elio had to cast multiple Fusion spells and AOE spells, she even used her skills multiple times to deal with these things.

Elio even revealed the existence of his servant, and they knew the people watching them from afar were now aware of her existence.

But that was fine.

In this moment when they had to deal with hundreds of creatures that didn't even give any Exp, there was no time to think about things that didn't really matter.

{ "That viscount! He used me for years! For decades! And when I wanted to go out of this hell, he did what?! He sent people to kill me! My children!" }

Unlike Odin who had received a simple power from the Darkness, the power that this Joker had received was quite unique.

Seed Of Darkness, or the permission for housing the [Embryo] of a creature born in the darkness until it reached maturity. This person had received a very special gift from the Darkness.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, they could not handle the overwhelming power that came with this gift. And, when they couldn't handle what they were given by the primordial Path that they had walked on willingly, the newfound powers hindered their entire philosophy.

{ "Why must only I suffer?! What did I do to deserve this?!" }

The reason he had turned into that monster Joker of darkness is because of the overwhelming contradiction that came with the Truth that was revealed to them.

Subconsciously, they couldn't accept it. And even though it didn't get reflected outwardly, because of the contradictions, they were suffering.

[{ "How much do you know about Darkness, Odin?" }]

It must not have been long since he obtained this power and was subjected to this state, that much Alex knew since she had seen what happens to the [Ruptures].

[{ "I don't know too much about it. I've just started learning about this… why do you ask?" }]

She had seen how dangerous these people could become to themselves and to this world, so she knew she had to end the suffering of this person.

[{ "We will attempt to combine my Aura and your Darkness to deal the required fatal blow to him while Elio casts his magic on us.

It might be dangerous for you, but it will definitely be effective!" }]

To get past the remaining barricade of puppet creatures, and to deal the required damage to kill a high level being like this one was not easy.

Odin and Elio both thought it would be very difficult to deal with this guy and were prepared for a long battle of attrition.

But… Alex knew that's not what He was here to see.

[{ "Believe me. This will be more effective." }]

The quest wanted them to prove their talent and impress the Viscount.

And, she knew the best way to do that in their complicated situation…
